Description 2 * * ** * :Cradle ofthe Stars tlie st ry of the fouiJituta /r/81/!dtk HANK WILLIAMS, JR. NARRATES COUNTRY MUSIC SHOW Well-known country music star Hank Williams, Jr. is the narrator for an hour- long country music documentary that airs ------------------- on * "Cradle of the Stars: The Story of the Louisiana Hayride" explores the Shreveport, Louisiana musical roots of some of country music's most venerable stars, including Hank Jr. 's daddy Hank Williams, and Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Johnny Horton, Bob Luman, George Jones and a host of others. The "Louisiana Hayride" was a radio show that gave fresh talent a chance to perfect their distinct performance styles before a weekly live audience. During its heyday, between 1948 to 1958, "the Hayride" rivaled even Nashville's famed Grand Ole Opry in the number of country music careers that it spawned. Hank Williams, Jr. 's participation in the show has special significance for him. He was born in Shreveport while his famous father was a member of the Hayride cast! Hank Jr.'s own unique singing style was strongly influenced by the hard-driving honky-tonk music played by his daddy back then. Of the Louisiana Hayride itself, Hank Jr, says "The Louisiana Hayride has got to be one of the pillars and institu­ tions of country music. In fact, when you get right down to it... the record shows that the Hayride and the Opry, that's where the big people came from." Shreveport native and country crooner Faron Young calls the Hayride "my jumping block..• the very seed that was planted for Faron Young's career." Webb Pierce's unique singing style was honed on stage in the Shreveport Munic: ipal Auditorium. Pierce moved there from West Monroe, Louisiana in 1950 to· wait for his big break. Singing on the legendary show catapulted him to the top of the country music charts and set him firmly on the path of a long-running, successful career in country music. -mor e- *Check local listings A production of Louisiana Public Broadcasting. • 2618 Wooddale Blvd., Baton Rouge, LA 70805 (504) 342-5822 U Supported by a granl from the Louisiana State Arts Council, Division of the Arts.

Sie kam jeden Samstag aus einem Theater in Compton, einem Vorort von Los Angeles. Die Bühne war hergerichtet wie eine alte Scheune – dies sollte dieselbe Stimmung vermitteln, die schon drei Jahr- zehnte zuvor bei den Live-Shows vorherrschte, die über den Hörfunk gesendet worden waren. Obwohl sich Nashville sehr schnell als das kommerzielle Zentrum der Country Music etabliert hatte, gab es auch an der ameri- kanischen Westküste ein gewaltiges Fan-Potential für eine Show wie diese. In dieser Region lebten seit den 30er Jahren viele Men- schen, die es aus der Dust Bowl dorthin verschlagen hatte – während des Zweiten Weltkriegs kamen zusätzlich viele Arbeiter hinzu, die Jobs in den Munitions- und Waffenfabriken suchten. Sie alle liebten Country Music, und folglich entwickelte sich eine völlig neue Szene mit einem eigenen Sound, neuen Künstlern, Clubs, Plattenlabels, Radio-Shows und natürlich auch passenden Fernsehprogrammen. Die 'Town Hall Party' wurde rund um einen hauseigenen Interpretenstamm entwickelt, der einem 'Who's Who' der Westküsten- Szene glich – mit Künstlern wie Joe Maphis, Merle Travis, Skeets McDonald, Johnny Bond und Tommy Duncan. Gastgeber waren Jay Stewart (er präsentierte später auch die TV-Quiz-Show 'Let's Make A Deal') und Tex Ritter. In die wöchentlich ausgestrahlte Show wurden stets auch hochkarätige Gäste eingeladen – und die kamen gern, denn die Show war ungemein populär und das permanent wichtiger werdende Fernsehen erwies sich als perfektes Medium, um sich als Künstler völlig neuen Zuschauerschichten vorstellen zu können.

  • Discography of the Camay Label [1963] the Camay Label Was Started by Don Ames and Hal Weiss in 1961
    Discography of the Camay Label [1963] The Camay label was started by Don Ames and Hal Weiss in 1961. The label was based in New York City in the Brill Building at 1721 Broadway. Camay issued singles in 1961, 1962 and 1963 and seemed to disappear prior to 1964. In 1963, the label focused on issuing budget albums. I believe the entire LP output was issued that year, most if not all of the material was leased from other labels and not recorded directly by Camay. In spite of being a budget label, they did produce a few good albums. The first release was a compilation of country music that included two rare sides by Bill Haley. Perhaps the best album on the label was “12 Collectors Goodies” CA 3012, with great pictures of vintage sports cars on the cover. This record contains some of the finest doo-wop put to vinyl and some very rare songs, Lynn McCutcheon in his book “Collecting Doo-Wop Compilations” calls this one of the 25 best doo-wop compilations ever produced. “12 Million Record Sellers” CA 3010 is also an excellent compilation, although it contains more commonly available material. The first Camay label was red with black printing. “CAMAY” above the center hole. The second Camay label was silver with black printing. “camay” on a record overlapping a globe above the center hole. C 3001 - Country Western Bonanza - Various Artists [1963] Run, Boy - Don Gibson/Were You There - Roy Acuff/Let’s Think About Livin’ - Bob Luman/Candy Kisses - Bill Haley/Your Cheatin’ Heart - Billy Byrd/I Miss You Already - Jimmy Newman //Take My Hand - Roy Acuff/Sweet

  • Doc // Louisiana Hayride: Radio and Roots Music Along the Red River
    Louisiana Hayride: Radio and Roots Music Along the Red River Doc ~ APQUSISMZE Louisiana Hayride: Radio and Roots Music A long th e Red River By Professor of Music Tracey E W Laird Oxford University Press Inc, United States, 2016. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 234 x 156 mm. Language: English . Brand New Book. On a Saturday night in 1948, Hank Williams stepped onto the stage of the Louisiana Hayride and sang Lovesick Blues. Up to that point, Williams s yodeling style had been pigeon-holed as hillbilly music, cutting him off from the mainstream of popular music. Taking a chance on this untried artist, the Hayride-a radio barn dance or country music variety show like the Grand Ole Opry-not only launched Williams s career, but went on to launch the careers of well-known performers such as Jim Reeves, Webb Pierce, Kitty Wells, Johnny Cash, and Slim Whitman. Broadcast from Shreveport, Louisiana, the local station KWKH s 50,000-watt signal reached listeners in over 28 states and lured them to packed performances of the Hayride s road show. By tracing the dynamic history of the Hayride and its sponsoring station, ethnomusicologist Tracey Laird reveals the critical role that this part of northwestern Louisiana played in the development of both country music and rock and roll. Delving into the past of this Red River city, she probes the vibrant historical, cultural, and social backdrop for its... READ ONLINE [ 9.53 MB ] Reviews It in just one of the most popular ebook.
